Public bug reported: When installing Ubuntu Server 15.04 on an HP Pavilion 15-f039wv laptop, I explicitly select the English Dvorak keyboard layout early in the install process, but that selection is not effective until part way through the "Installing the System" step. Until then, the install appears to use a regular US Qwerty layout.
The Qwerty layout is used for things like entering a host name, a user name, and user password and while doing disk partitioning. The deferred use of the Dvorak keyboard layout also effects my use of a secondary console, for example after pressing Ctl-Alt-F2 and then hitting enter. Also there, the keyboard layout changes part way through the "Installing the System" step. Otherwise, the installation nominally successful and the installed system uses the Dvorak keyboard layout. When I install Ubuntu Server 14.04.3, the selection of the Dvorak keyboard layout takes effect immediately for the rest of the installation. As I recall, that has been the case for other earlier versions of Ubuntu. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1504655 Title: Install defers use of selected keyboard layout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1504655/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
